Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade. This is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Our nursing score is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was awarded a dominant long-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be this facility's third most impressive category score. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A-. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.18604 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

The final area we rated was short-term care, where this facility received an A-. This finished off an elite profile. Few facilities received an A- or better in each of our categories. With our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
